Today, I joined @punchbowlnews.bsky.social to discuss efforts to advance commonsense health care policy—especially amid the shutdown. As the top Dem on the Health Subcommittee, I’ve spent my career fighting for health care reform.    Now, we need the GOP majority to actually join us in that effort.
Rather than come back to D.C. and work together to keep health care affordable and reopen the government, House Republicans are still on vacation. Enough is enough. It's time for them to come back to D.C. and find a path forward.
Let's make one thing clear: we are heading into a health care crisis of the GOP’s making. 300,000 people in Colorado alone are going to see massive increases because Republicans in Congress refuse to negotiate with Democrats.
Trump is using the shutdown to decimate the federal government & leave hardworking Americans without jobs. In Colorado alone, nearly 200 Interior jobs will be cut, putting our public lands and the people who protect them at risk. When will he stop treating public servants like political pawns?
As co-chair of the Congressional Study Group on Japan, I look forward to demonstrating our state’s values while working with Prime Minister Takaichi to strengthen US-Japan relations.
Japan’s historic election of its first woman Prime Minister has a special Colorado connection – Sanae Takaichi was a former intern of my predecessor Rep. Pat Schroeder, who was a champion for women & families throughout her career.
Great to join Colorado Legal Services last night and celebrate 100 years of CLS’s high-quality civil legal assistance to those who need it most. Colorado is stronger thanks to the tireless dedication of CLS staff, volunteers, and supporters.
Today, I joined CO Insurance Commissioner Conway & Connect for Health to sound the alarm on the insurance hikes hitting Coloradans this month. Wanting affordable care shouldn't be a partisan issue. It's time Republicans reopen the government & help us tackle this crisis with the urgency it demands.
The Republican shutdown means over 600,000 Coloradans might not get the SNAP benefits they need to feed themselves or their families. With food prices already surging, Trump & Congressional Republicans would rather let families go hungry than work with Democrats to reopen the government. Shameful.
Proud to join Coloradans at the No Kings rally in Denver to reject Trump’s autocracy. He’s co-opted academia, corporate America, and the Republican Party—but not our democracy. We must continue fighting to protect equal opportunity and health care for every American.
It’s been over 3 weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected — but Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in. Could it be because she’s the 218th signature needed to release the Epstein files? What's in those files anyway? 🤔
Colorado families & businesses depend on affordable, reliable energy. Yet the DOE’s decision to abruptly cancel $600 million in CO energy projects threatens jobs, raises costs, & undermines grid stability. My CO Democratic colleagues & I are demanding the answers that Coloradans deserve. ⬇️
Mike Johnson is keeping House Republicans home, but that won’t stop @housedemocrats.bsky.social from showing up to do our jobs.    My colleagues and I came back to D.C. this week, ready to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from soaring.
Trump has illegally canceled nearly $517 million for 34 Colorado projects—part of almost $28 billion frozen nationwide, mostly in Democratic-led states and districts. He’s using the government shutdown to punish millions of Americans, and everyone will suffer because of his corrupt actions.
It's been two weeks since Trump and Congressional Republicans shut down the government. Meanwhile, House Republicans have fled D.C. Democrats and I are on duty in Washington, ready to reopen the government and take action to protect health care & lower costs for millions of Americans.
Trump is using the shutdown to destroy the nation's premier public health agency. Don’t be fooled – Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House, & gutting public health was their plan all along. Congress must assert its Constitutional authority to stop these illegal & partisan actions.
The release of the remaining hostages and prisoners is welcome news as we work towards an end of the conflict in the Middle East. Now, there must be a massive surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza and a coordinated effort to rebuild.
On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the Indigenous communities that have shaped the identity of Colorado and our country. Today is not only a celebration of their culture and immense contributions but a reminder of our responsibility to uphold the promises made to tribal nations.
